Sleep Like JLo!
Jennifer Lopez is always looking for ways to stay slim, trim and youthful, and
her latest discovery: Getting more sleep.
Actress Penelope Cruz was always outspoken about her need to sleep
for 8 to 9 hours, and now, J Lo has joined Ms. Cruz and is singing the
praises of sleep as a way to get slim and stay slim as well.
How does sleep work?
Sleep less than 7 hrs. and you greatly increase your odds of
gaining weight. Too little sleep affects metabolism and
the 2 sleep hormones--ghrelin and leptin.
And if you have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep,
try the 2 simple tips that might work.
The tips:
* Get some exercise, aerobic exercise, best done before
7:00 pm. And it doesn't have to be jogging, dancing
(like JLo) or hula-hooping (like Marisa Tomei)
will work just fine. Or do some gentle stretching
about an hour before bed.
* Drink up- Some recommend milk, but a lot of people
can't stomach or just don't like it.
The new milk: Cherry juice. Make it tart cherry juice,
(find it at supermarkets or GNC stores.) add a Tbs. to a
glass of water and hr. before bed. Some people who've tried
this, say it's the miracle they've been looking for.
Hey- it's cheaper and safer than sleeping pills.
So, there you have it--another health tip from the one and
only J Lo.
Good Luck!
